Missing gaskets? Wiring harness? The check valve issue they were probably referring to was my car. It was a very minor issue at most that has now been rectified. I saw the quality of my kit first hand and was very impressed. Anyone that calls the APS kit junk has no clue what they are talking about. I can understand complaints about limited tuners with unichip and the check valve issue but the other things mentioned above leaves me in a daze. I honestly just think they didn't know what they were doing in the end and decided to label it as "junk". There is even a thread on here somewhere about all the issues they were having with the install posted by the G35 coupe owner. Based on my experience there I can see them having issues with the install....

 

ty for the replies...ill be looking forward to boost in a couple of months

 

Check valve a very minor issue? I've heard of many APS ST kits that shipped with bad valves. It was the reason for most of the smoke-out-of-the-exhaust issues that were reported when the kit was first shipped. I'm personally not a big fan of relying on a check valve to pump hot oil out of my turbo. Its only a matter of time until it goes out again and the same thing happens. The best part about it was how APS kept it quiet and never said anything about it until they sold all the "bad" units. I love the APS TT setup, but I'm not sure if I would want to have to deal with a company who runs business the way that do.

Also, wasn't there also an issue with many faulty unichip wiring harnesses that went out? I would be surprised if many here knew about it. APS has a knack for sweeping problems under the rug.

As far as laughing at the PETT kit, you must not know what you're talking about. It would run circles around both of these ST kits any day.

 

The check valve was indeed a minor issue and I was the first one to have the problem. I personally discussed this with Peter who then found out there may be more valves involved. He was able to confirm this. Now all the valves are electronic solenoids that open and close automatically. I don't see this issue being at large again especially after installing mine first hand. So how exactly did APS keep this quiet? Everyone that had an issue now has a new electronic valve. I think people just enjoy starting rumors about APS customer service....

One person had an issue with the unichip wiring harness out of the hundreds that APS and Unichip have distributed. That is understandable and is bound to happen to some individuals every now and then who has bad luck.

As far as the PE TT kit is concerned....I really don't care for it but that doesn't mean I was laughing at it either. I don't see how they can call the APS kit junk and then love the PE TT kit. Oh well..everyone is entitled to their opinion and I can respect that. Please keep in mind that simply because another kit will run circles around either ST kit does not necessarily mean the quality of the actual kit is all that great...

 

I have the kit on the G35c and am putting down 368 at the wheel. I have over 3k on the kit with no problems, other than self inflicted (e.g., ran over a rock that punctured a hole in the oil pan.)

There were no missing gaskets, broken hardware, check valve, or wiring harness problems. Just go to an installer that knows how to install APS kits.

The down pipe scrapes like a mother if you are on Eibachs, I switched to coilovers and raised the car to prevent such scraping.

 

All I gots to say is that what you don't know could fill a warehouse - no offense

edit:
Taurran, give maximumsport (chris) a call and run up and check out his setup and find out what a complete high quality kit is all about

 

Interesting... Taurran how come I don't see you in my IRC room anymore...

 

I'm really happy with my APS ST kit - I also have the plenum and exhaust. I don't ever worry about it.
